I know of a few things you can get from MindRead that you can't get from talking but I'm not sure how useful they are. If you use MindRead on the Umpani NPCs, you'll get a weird word in allcaps. For example: Saxx thinks of "VAUGHN". Turns out those are the passwords for the NPCs in the EWAXX computer. If you enter the NPCs name as the username and the mindread word as the password you can get into the database. The reason I don't know if this is useful is because I've not found anything using an NPCs password that I couldn't find out using my own. It could be I'm just not using the right keywords, however.

For the most part, I'd have to agree with you that the spell is useless in Wiz8. It just doesn't give you anything other than a few laughs when you read something like "I can't believe Balbrak asked Sparkle for a date" from the bartender. [img]smile.gif[/img]
